Instant Pot Honey Garlic Pork Chops recipe
Description
This recipe uses bone-in or boneless pork chops seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In the Instant Pot, a mixture of garlic, honey, chicken broth, and rice wine vinegar creates a flavorful cooking liquid. Pressure cooking the pork chops ensures they become succulent and infused with the sauce's savory-sweet combination.
After cooking, the chops are removed to rest while the sauce is thickened by stirring cornstarch into some cooking liquid and boiling it on the sauté setting until glossy and thick. The sauce is then poured over the chops, offering sticky, sweet garlic notes balanced by vinegar acidity.
The dish serves as a straightforward entree with rich honey garlic flavor, providing a sauced pork option that cooks relatively quickly thanks to the pressure cooker. The sauce coats the chops, making them flavorful and moist.
